Figure 2-3 Installing the tape drive

The illustration shows a tape drive that has mounting rails fitted. If your
server does not use mounting hardware, check that the holes in the chassis
are aligned with the holes in the side of the tape drive.
Do not secure the drive at this point because you may have to move the
drive to get the cables into place.

Attach power and SCSI cables

To support the high performance of the tape drive it is important that you
connect to a recommended SCSI bus and use a suitably-rated SCSI cable,
see "Why is the SCSI bus type
1. Check your server or HBA documentation to ensure that the SCSI bus
and cabling supports up to Ultra160 bus speeds.
2. Attach a spare power cable from the server's internal power supply to
the power connector, as shown in
3. Attach a spare connector on the server's built-in SCSI bus or HBA's
SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI connector of the drive, as shown in
